Famed Irish poet and songwriter (1779–1852) best known for such verses as ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ and ‘Believe Me if All These Endearing Young Charms.’ ALS signed “T. Moore,” one page, 7.5 x 9, April 15, 1831. Letter to Arthur C. O’Connor. In full: “I inclose you the result of my first application, and sincerely report that it is not more favourable—I mean, however, to be in town in the course of the following week, and shall then try some other publisher, with, I hope, more success. The last lines of the letter allude to my own progress through the Press, which has been delayed by various causes much longer than I expected. As soon as the book is out I shall have the pleasure of sending you a copy, & shall take it very kind of you if you will mark whatever is wrong in it that I say in a future edition, avail myself of your corrections.” The reverse bears an address panel in Moore’s hand. Intersecting folds, a few spots of toning, and a small area of paper loss to right edge from wax seal, otherwise fine condition. RR Auction COA.
